Mary ManusosFine Artist

The SX-70's created at this time are evidence of an excitement
and engagement that I felt for art. My mind and eye were indulged with a
camera and 600 sheets of film that were able to fix a moment in their crude
yet predictable way. The images were quickly changed to reflect the excitement
I felt and to record an accurate response to that moment. John Chakeres
and I created these images together and apart from each other over a period
of about 6 weeks. We then convened to create our publication D'ART OBJECTS
a Collaboration., Nuance Press, 1979. The project of creating the layout
of the book and the inclusion of 169 images from the original creations
took approximately six months. I feel this work provoked me to feel satisfied
and about being an artist for life.
